❔ In a derived WPF control, how do you hide properties from the base class?

I have a UserControl. UserControl, of course, exposes a property called Content. But if the parent of my control tries to set Content, you get mysterious error messages that are tough to understand. So I want to hide those properties. But how? 
[EditorBrowsable]
 doesn't work on properties. 
[Browsable]
 does, but has no effect on the properties window in the designer. I tried putting warnings in my own 
[Description]
, but it seems the WPF designer is ignoring my property. So 
private
 on the property has no effect either.
